Then sawest thou that this fair Universe, were it in the meanest province thereof, is in very deed the star-domed City of God; that through every star, through every grass-blade, and most through every Living Soul, the glory of a present God still beams. But Nature, which is the Time-vesture of God and reveals Him to the wise, hides Him from the foolish.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is grown so bad, That wrens make prey where eagles dare not perch. -King Richard III.

To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Carcasses bleed at the sight of the murderer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Carcasses bleed at the sight of the murderer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   When we are troubled with temptation and evil thoughts, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471   When we are troubled with temptation and evil thoughts, then we see clearly the great need we have of God, since without him we can do nothing good.
